Instagram: Here's How to Create a Music Post on Instagram Stories

Record a video with a song playing

Instagram recently introduced the ability for users to add music to their photos and videos in Instagram Stories. Part of this feature is a new “Music” mode, which allows users to record a video while a song is playing. Our guide will show you how this Music mode works.

Note: These screenshots were captured in the Instagram application on iOS.

Step 1: Swipe from right to left at the bottom of the screen to move into the “Music” mode.

Step 2: Either swipe to browse the list of popular music Instagram presents you with, or tap “Search Music” at the top of the screen to search for a song manually.
